Summary:
|
The district remains committed to a holistic approach to ensuring students have access to services that enable them to learn. Studies find that more students can receive behavioral health services when they are provided at school.
Recent changes in California include the roll out of the Fee Schedule, a component of the California Youth Behavioral Health Initiative. This initiative will reimburse school-linked providers for the provision of specified outpatient mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) services.
Participation in the fee schedule enables LEAs and public institutions of higher education to be reimbursed for behavioral health services without needing to negotiate directly with health insurance plans, creating additional sources of revenue to increase the number of service providers available to support students. |
